it's "not really alpine" because it is in the bottom of a huge fucking canyon!

The only "alpine" in that is the proximity to der Worth.

Hey, but what if they suddenly bought a lot of Euros with their dollars? The Euro would rise, the dollar would fall, they'd retain the value of their reserves and your savings would become worthless. Oh wait. you're an American - you don't have any savings.

The actual quote is "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and see a permanent loss of productivity cause the fucker will always be running off to stand in a river when he could be working!"

Album Description With the success of "Whip It", and the associated album Freedom of Choice, Devo attracted a new, more pop-oriented audience that was less interested in Devo's artistic theories and intelligent lyrics. In response, New Traditionalists was aimed to be a much darker, deeper and serious album. The leadoff track, "Through Being Cool" is a direct attack at Johnny-Come-Lately fans who didn't understand Devo's message. Devo also developed a new look for the album, eschewing the Energy Dome headgear, and replacing it with the plastic "New Traditionalist Pomp", modeled after John F. Kennedy's famous hairstyle. On stage, Devo wore what were called "Utopian Boy Scout Uniforms", consisting of a gray button down shirt, gray slacks, and black patent leather shoes. They also wore a blue V-neck tee shirt with the New Traditionalists logo on the black sleeves. This can be seen in the US and Australia album cover. On the European cover, Devo wears a "Sleevless Maxi-Turtleneck Sweater". The T-Shirts, Turtlenecks, and plastic versions of the Pomps were available through Devo's fan club catalog. Most of the songs on the album are very dark, and the lyrics lacking the irony and wit that Devo was known for. The exception to this is "Beautiful World". At first listen, the song seens very upbeat and happy, until the line "It's not for me," which reveals the more cynical side of the song. On "Enough Said", Devo becomes political, making fun of world leaders and the political process: "Take all the leaders from around the world / Put them together in a great big ring / Televise it as the lowest show on Earth / And let them fight like hell to see who's king." The "Working In the Coal Mine" single was recorded during the 1980 sessions for Freedom of Choice, and used in the soundtrack of the 1981 film Heavy Metal. Because Devo felt the rest of the soundtrack album was "corporate rock", they insisted that "Coal Mine" be released as a single. The album also included a poster, drawn by a member of the Church of the Subgenius. [edit] Music Videos Devo made three music videos for the album. "Through Being Cool" had Devo take a limited role, and focused on a team of kids clad in Pomps and a Devo "Action Vest" attacking the uncool people with Spudguns. In "Love Without Anger" Devo acts as a Greek Chorus to a bizarre love story between two humanoid chickens. It also features a stop motion video by Ivan Stang of Barbie and Ken fighting each other and removing each others body parts. "Beautiful World" is considered to be Devo's greatest music video, setting the tune to a series of connected images from film archives. Scenes of beautiful women, futuristic cars, and other happy elements are slowly changed over into images of race riots, violence, and nuclear explosions. [edit] Tour The New Tradtionalists tour was a large undertaking. Devo performed on treadmills in front of a Greek Temple style structure. Behind the members, between the pillars, small screens displayed rear-projected images. Devo carried an impressive sound system on the tour, as well. Sadly, the only professionally shot footage of the tour was destroyed due to an electrical short.

New study referenced in Scientific American, funded by Proctor & Gamble, tested regular soap, antibacterial soap and no soap when washing hands. Both soaps were more effective in reducing disease than no soap (incidence of disease halved). Strangely though the "normal soap" crowd had even better performance than the 'antibacterial soap" group. You can bet someone at P&G got fired over that!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame wants to go on holiday so he advertises in the paper for a replacement hunchback. After interviewing the successful candidate he gives him the keys to the bell tower, shows him quickly what ropes to pull when and heads off. Well its time for the Replacement to ring the bells and he gets all psyched up, checks his watch, looks at the bell pulls and loses it. He's not sure he remembers which bell pull rings which bell. Finally he decides he'll just pull on the biggest bell pull and ring that bell, which must be the loudest one. Now he goes to pull on the chosen bellpull, but what Quasimodo didn't mention is that the largest bell in the Cathedral is to be rung only upon the deaths of Popes. Now it has been so long since a pope died (this is before John Paul kicked the bucket) that the rope has become rotten with age. So as the replacement hunchback puts his full weight on the rope, trying to ring the bell, the rope snaps and he pitches forwards . He grabs another pull to support himself but unfortunately the one he grabs is to a counterweight, not a bell. The counterweight drops and he flies upwards into the bells swinging in the top of the bell tower. His head mashes right into one bell, ringing it loudly but knocking himself out cold. Then he loses his grip on the counterweight's rope and falls the length of the tower to his death. Two monks have come hurrying to the scene, holding the skirts of their cassocks up above their knees to run faster. They find the dead replacement hunchback lying flattened on the ground. One monk says to the second monk, after surveying the scene: "Well, that face rings a bell!" The other monk says "Yeah, this hunchback's a dead ringer for Quasimodo!"
